Questions you should have asked...
Does Fusion Server run on a hypervisor?
Are there any plans to make a product similar to ESX Server for XServe?
Can Fusion Server VMs be managed on Virtual Center?
Any plans for Virtual Center on OSX?
I will say that Pat Lee makes an excellent point about utilization on the XServe and MacPro. With 8 cores most people are going to be hard pressed to use all that power. Businesses already have that issue with multicore servers on the PC side of things which is why virtualization has caught fire in the datacenter. IMO Apple is missing out on the party but this could get their foot in the door.

This made me wonder whether or not people have kludged OS X into a VM with the OSx86 project, legal or not. It seems like if you can build a 'hackintosh' then you can simulate one.

Yes it has been done.
I've gotten OSX running on VMware ESX running on HP hardware.
